I stand apart from the madding crowd
Never felt so far away till tonight
I'm left in awe of the crowd mentality
So foreign to one like me

Never been one to fit in
Isolated existence I've had
Won't explain myself to you

Time ago I wished for a generic life
So plain and vanilla - no thinking required
In a delusion where everything is fine
And everything will be better soon

That fake exterior slowly crushed me inside
Realized I can't ignore what's meant to be
Escaped into solitude to save my sanity
Far from the madding crowd
